Jill Biden revisits the idea of free community college
First lady Jill Biden on Monday stepped up her call for affordable community college for all Americans who wish to attend, revisiting her support for free community colleges.
Biden resurfaced the idea an objective that President Joe Biden helped launch when he was vice president under Barack Obama on Monday during a visit to Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Illinois. The proposal languished in the Obama administration’s agenda, ultimately dying in Congress without finding legislative footing.
“We launched College Promise back in 2015 in an effort to make two years of community college free for hardworking students,” Biden said in Illinois. “Republicans, Democrats, independents College Promise is a place where all Americans can come together and find common ground.”
